Rocks and Roses

I had quite a shock this morning when I went to my car only to find a fist sized rock had been thrown through my back window. The hole was the size of the rock so I thought I might as well go do my shopping before coming home and calling insurance etc.. which always takes a while. What I hadn't realized was that as I drove my window would slowly fall apart. It was quite disconcerting to hear the constant tinkle of falling bits of glass. By the time I got home the hole was as big as you can see in the photo.

Here's the rock amid some of the glass.

On a much nicer topic my Bonica Roses are full of buds and more open every day!! See my scissors hanging on the little post? That's so I can quickly do some dead-heading when I am on my way to wherever.

These are my Rugosa Roses, also in the front yard, but on the other side of the front garden bed. Most of them are the dark pink ( and very scented) except for the one on the right which has smaller flowers and is a lighter shade of pink. You can just see my white one on the right.

It's a pleasant day, mostly overcast, but cool so I'm baking bread in my thrift store pan which I'll show you next time. It's a long skinny pan, very different so of course I had to buy it ( .50).

Ugh, how very maddening and frustrating about the rock! Your roses are lovely, we have a similar light pink Rugosa that is just about to start blooming. I have a question. Do you ever do jig saw puzzles? If so I have the PERFECT one for you!

So sorry to hear of your smashed window. I did smile abit though when I read how it tinkled as it fell apart as you were driving - same thing happened to me so I could picture it well. It's unfortunate that people have such disregard for the law and randomly vandalize. Ellabie

What an awful thing to see first thing in the morning. I'll never understand how some people act. Grrr...Your roses are just beautiful. I'd love to get a whiff of them too. Your well placed scissors are a real timesaver, I'm sure. Seems like no matter how organized I start out I'm constantly searching for one of my smaller gardening tools.
